Microsoft Solitaire Collection Reaches 100 Million Unique Users

After commemorating the 25th anniversary of Solitaire on Windows just last year, we’re proud to celebrate another milestone for the popular card game. The version of Solitaire you know and love on Windows 10 and Windows 8 PC and mobile devices, Microsoft Solitaire Collection, has reached more than 100 million unique users!

For many, Solitaire paved the way for gaming on Windows PCs, and most players have fond memories of winning a game and seeing cascading cards bouncing across the computer screen. Today, Microsoft Solitaire Collection continues the legacy with five of the best Solitaire games – Klondike, Spider, FreeCell, Pyramid and Tripeaks – all in one app with new Daily Challenges, Star Club and Xbox Live Achievements. And now with 100 million unique players, Microsoft Solitaire Collection has amassed enough people to create a small nation due to its broad accessibility and fun features that make players want to return day after day.

To commemorate this massive milestone, here are some fun facts you might not know about MicrosoftSolitaire Collection:
